The songs has been as expansive and ethereal ás the lyrics had been claustrophobic and manic, pairing chiming electric guitars with cursed pictures of wild dogs, decimated cities and newborns converted angels. He makes the prettiest art.of all the art.Four yrs before “Float On” converted Isaac Brock into an unlikely pop celebrity, his music group's major-label debut was a jittery opus about apocalypses big and small-one that had taken his Pacific Northwest ne'ér-do-well pérsona global without sacrificing the idiosyncrasies that made Modest Mouse indie stalwarts. Reading his interviews about this record makes me feel closer to what he meant for us to pull from this album and I'm really glad that those millions and billions of chances lined up to give us the existence of such King Krule. Here is a broader, but subtler interpretation of his experience as a human being.
First album chased aspiration while swimming in depression and such. Some will not get into this album, and that's understandable. I will miss those sounds from 6FBTM, but this reinvention of King Krule felt so natural to the grander thematic nature of what the name means rather than the sounds themselves. There is something magical, visceral, and visual altogether about this album that feels genuine and hand crafted. With The Ooz he's cemented himself as my favorite artist. No one else but Archy Marshall could've had his particular experiences to be able to create his completely unique perspective of the world and romantic beauty he sees. When all the little things can be pulled together for a larger whole, that's what makes it. The best thing is that he's directly building off the "universe" of his previous album under the King Krule moniker, and that lends itself very well to making a more powerful album. There are so many floated moments with meaning scattered all throughout. My expectations got in front of me, I'll admit, because I expected something closer to that guitar dreaminess from 6 Feet Beneath The Moon. This thing is really massive and there are tons of references and overarching themes I can't get enough of.
